Web3 tech provides features that have been practically unexplored by game designers. Games use DeFi mechanics, or self-custody and P2P marketplace mechanics, but few have used composability to create new game experiences for incentivization.
This presentation by PhD in gaming Andy Boyan will explore how composable Web3 standards enable a revolution in gaming far beyond ownership and collection, featuring Infinity Keys, an achievements game built on composable assets across Web3.

And
that
is
all
of
the
Spanish
I
know,
unfortunately,
which
is
surprising
because
I've
used
Duolingo
anybody
use
Duolingo,
but
I
used
it
a
bunch
and
I'm
not
at
all
fluent
now,
Duolingo
boasts
gamification,
that's
how
they
like
do
what
they
do
right
and
it
certainly
is
fun
right.
You
get
badges,
you
get
experience
you
level
up,
but
it
doesn't
always
do
the
best
job
at
learning
at
actual
teaching,
and
so
what
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
is
gamification
and
what
that
means
in
terms
of
composability
in
web
3.
A
Today
my
background
is
I'm
a
former
professor
of
games,
I
study,
digital
media
effects
for
a
variety
of
entertainment
media
and
how
the
affordances
of
systems
impacted
player
or
user
Behavior.
So
yeah
I
studied
video
games
for
10
years.
They
gave
me
tenure
and
then
I
left
for
crypto,
because
hey
we're
all
here
right
in
my
time
in
crypto
work
for
a
number
of
protocols
that
you'll
know
status,
chain,
link
labs
and
last
year
during
the
metaverse
excitement,
and
you
know,
play
to
earn
excitement
and
nfts.
A
What
I
noticed
was
that
there
was
something
missing.
There
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
gamification
in
terms
of
incentives
and
Awards
and
bonuses
and
experience
points,
but
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
talk
about
game,
mechanics
and
how
those
worked.
There
was
a
lot
of
handwringing
about
it,
but
but
not
a
ton.
So
I
now
founded
a
company
called
Infinity
Keys.
We
are
a
project
that
tries
to
think
about
composability
in
web3,
especially
on
the
evm,
and
how
we
can
make
games
with
that
so
quickly.
A
Right
now,
if
you
go
to
Infinity
Keys
IO,
you
can
see
a
number
of
different
kinds
of
games
that
we
have
they're,
mostly
games
where
you
have
to
solve
a
riddle,
find
a
passcode
or
go
somewhere
and
find
a
passcode
or
go
collect
an
nft,
and
this
is
kind
of
core
to
what
I
want
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
composability.
It's
it's
not
finding
a
passcode
and
minting
an
nft
achievement.
That's
all
that
exciting!
That's
a
piece
of
it!
You
can
make
fun
games
out
of
that.
A
But
what
is
interesting
and
exciting
is
when
we
take
the
nft
that
you
mint
a
composable
asset
and
we
require
that
in
the
next
game.
And
then
we
give
you
a
reward
in
nft
for
that,
and
then
we
require
that
in
another
game
and
then
we
start
interlacing
those
assets
together
and
requiring
them.
And
then
my
my
the
the
final
sort
of
end
state
that
we're
trying
to
build
that
Infiniti
keys
and
that
I
want
to
encourage
you
all
to
build
as
well.
Is
we
allow
anyone
to
lace
those
assets
together,
so
developers
and
Engineers?
A
A
And
so
what
I'm
advocating
for
here
is
a
new
type
of
game,
a
new
type
of
a
game
that
relies
on
composable
assets,
I'm
coining,
the
term
composability
games,
we'll
see
if
it's
next
that
allows
anybody
to
do
this
sort
of
thing,
and
it's
not
just
to
make
games
and
have
people
have
good
experiences.
That
is
a
part
of
it.
That's
a
piece
of
it
and
that's
what
we're
doing
right
now,
it's
very
fun
and
you're
supposed
to
have
like
yeah
I
solved
it
like
a
good
moment.
That
feels
good.
A
That's
a
nice
experience
to
have
with
blockchain.
But
if
you
take
a
look
at
this,
if
you're
familiar
with
complex
systems
or
complex
adaptive
systems,
how
they
work
is
you
have
a
whole
bunch
of
small
components
that
interrelate
as
part
of
a
system
and
as
they
interrelate
and
as
there's
more
of
them?
Emergent
phenomena
start
to
happen
and
I
believe
I
think
that
if
we
do
this
with
nfts
and
we
start
to
connect
them
together,
not
just
nfts,
but
tokens
wallet
signatures.
A
All
sorts
of
sort
of
composable
elements
that
live
on
evm,
we'll
start
to
see
a
new
kind
of
may
I
use
the
term
metaverse
metaverse
isn't
necessarily
a
3D
digital
world.
It
does
not
have
to
be
by
any
means
and
what
I
think
is
more
interesting
are
deep
digital
worlds.
Hey
everybody
good
to
see
the
room
and
when
I
talk
about
deep
digital
worlds,
when
you
play
a
game,
y'all
play
WoW
anybody
world
of
warcrafters
I,
know,
there's
a
couple
or
breath
of
the
wild
anybody.
A
Destiny
all
right,
I
know:
I
got
some
Destiny
people
in
here.
When
you
play
one
of
these
games,
you
go
in
there's
so
much
to
do
it's
an
extremely
rich
and
vibrant
world,
because
any
town
you
walk
into
there's
a
hundred
quests
and
there's
NPCs
that
tell
you
where
to
go,
and
then
you
go
to
the
next
town
and
it's
a
different
culture
and
there's
even
more
to
do.
We
a
a
metaverse,
isn't
just
a
plot
of
pixelated
land
that
you
can
build
things
and
put
up
a
new
sign
or
even
build
games.
A
A
A
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
this
too
much
because
I
do
have
limited
time.
Lightning
talk,
many
things
to
say
not
a
lot
of
time
to
say
it.
But
that's!
Okay!
Come
on
in
plenty
of
room,
we're
here
but
kind
of
core
to
what
I
want
to
think
about
here.
That's
different
than
just
requiring
it
one
nft
to
Mint.
A
Another
nft
is
we
need
to
make
good
games
and
make
good
experiences,
and
that's
something
that
we
haven't
been
that
concerned
with,
because
we've
been
making
sure
that
the
technology
Works
making
sure
that
we
can
a
stake
and
those
things
are
secure
or
can
be
secured.
If
you
use
all
the
best
practices
making
sure
that
we
do
convert
to
proof
of
stake,
well
done
on
team,
but
now
we
can
start
thinking
about
user
experience,
Beyond
just
what's
on
the
screen
and
what
do
they
interact
with?
A
But
what
are
the
feelings
that
they
have
games
are
more
than
just
a
place
to
reward
you
with
even
more
tokens
they're
a
place
where
you
can
help.
Players
have
interesting
emotional
experiences,
and
that
is,
if
you
go
to
Infinity
keys,
I
O
and
you
solve
some
of
our
basic
puzzles.
They're
easy.
But
you
like
all
right.
You
feel
good.
You
get
that
little
kick
and
that's
enough
in
many
cases
and
those
emotions
are
really
really
powerful
attractants
as
we
bring
more
people
into
web
3
and
into
crypto
economic
systems
right
now.
A
A
lot
of
the
emotional
experiences
that
people
have
with
crypto
is
number
go
up,
which
feels
good,
but
it's
not
sustainable
and
number
goes
down,
which
is
terrible
and
leaves
a
very
long,
lasting
impression.
The
rest
of
us
are
here
that,
like
figured
out
that
Curiosity,
you
know
what
else
can
we
build?
How
do
we
improve
systems
with
that,
but
most
of
the
people
that
interact
with
crypto
systems?
That's
what
they
deal
with
number
I
go
up
number
go
down.
Games
can
change
that.
A
I
really
do
think
that,
and
not
only
can
games
change
that,
but
by
leaning
into
composable
assets
and
and
permissionlessness
of
systems.
We
can
open
that
and
broaden
that
to
further
and
further
reaches
it
doesn't
have
to
be
me,
creating
games
and
a
set
of
my
nfts.
You
can
be
a
fan
of
a
band
and
create
trivia
and
reward
nfts
for
very
cheap
or
free
on
layer,
twos
and
Roll-Ups,
and
all
those
sorts
of
things
and
make
those
a
required
asset
for
the
next
stage
of
your
own
hunt.
A
I
promise,
I
think
composability
games
will
be
something
new,
and
this
is
a
meta
that
we
have
missed.
Thus
far.
Gaming
web3
gaming
is
a
has
been
about
owning
your
assets,
which
means
selling
your
assets,
assets
which
is
kind
of
boring.
Maybe
it's
a
value
for
some
people,
but
it
is
far
from
the
greatest
value
that
we
offer
as
a
community
of
people
building
together
that
the
value
is
the
network,
and
so
let's
use
the
network
to
create
value
for
people
and
their
experiences.
That's
what
we're
doing
at
Infinity
Keys.
A
You
can
check
us
out.
We
have
a
number
of
live
puzzles.
We
recently
got
a
lens,
Grant
and
so
put
up
I'm
not
going
to
read
all
this
stuff,
but
we
recently
put
up
a
lens
challenge
where
you
have
to
go
to
different
dapps
on
lens,
find
passcodes
bring
them
back
to
Mint
key.
And
then,
when
you
collect
three
keys,
you
can
mint
a
treasure
chest.
It's
all
valueless
free
nfts
for
fun
we're
at
Alpha.
But
what
we're
starting
to
see
is
people
coming
into
our
community,
starting
to
build
their
own
puzzles
and
figure
out?
A
How
can
we
expand
this
world
and
use
the
assets
that
you've
already
created
that
we
created
all
last
year
ad
nauseam?
How
can
we
put
those
together
and
more
in
the
future
to
create
a
wider
world
of
composability
in
gaming?
There's
treasure
everywhere.
This
is
a
really
important
statement
to
me.
It's
not
just
the
loot
that
you
find
it's
there's
treasure
in
you,
there's
treasure
in
us
and
our
ideas
and
the
things
that
we
can
build
together
if
we
use
systems
that
allow
for
composability
and
interconnection.
That
is
my
time.
